"freakin' playing"
"Everybody loves [McNeill] and they know what kind of teammate he is, but what kind of production he can bring to us in the run and pass game," Campbell said Wednesday during his weekly radio interview on 97.1 The Ticket."
"He's the type of guy who elevates the guys around him and he will elevate their level of play or their production with just him being out there, because he's gonna draw a little bit attention or they're gonna have to," Campbell said."
Alim McNeill will return to play Monday night against the Buccaneers after tearing the ACL in his right knee in December. He has not played since the injury and the Lions opened his 21-day practice window two weeks ago, during which he shined in practices. McNeill is considered one of Detroit's top defenders and finished 2024 with 25 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 14 starts. He is expected to be eased back into the lineup, to shake off some cobwebs in his first game back, and to elevate teammates in both run and pass defense. The Lions are 4-2 and coming off a 30-17 loss, with the defense having allowed at least 24 points in three of six games.
